Hi Jay,

You have a typo where you have set JAVA\_HOME to :  
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0\_131"

The error message also contains the unwanted double-quote character

Remove the double-quote and reopen cmd... On the command line just run : echo %JAVA\_HOME% to be sure the path looks correct  
Also in PATH you could use %JAVA\_HOME%\bin instead of specifying the full path... Then try : where JAVA; this should list the java.exe located in the JRE you are trying to use, this would also be another way to validate any typo

Thanks  
Julien
